→Creating a New Virtual Machine Template
Once the hardware settings have been configured, click next to proceed to the ''Guest Operating System'' screen. If the template was sourced from an existing virtual machine, all settings may be inherited from that machine by selecting the ''Customization is not required'' option of the ''Guest operating system profile'' menu. Alternatively, new settings may be configured by selecting ''[New]''. Yet another option is to import the settings from an existing guest operating system profile by selecting the profile name from the ''Guest operating system profile'' menu.
Clicking ''Next'' after the guest operating system profile settings have been configured displays the ''Select Library Server'' screen. By default, the wizard will list library servers it is already aware of. Select the required server and click ''Next'' to proceed to the Select Path screen. Use the ''Browse'' button to select an appropriate location in the VMM Library share folder to store the template. Once a location has been specified, click ''Next'', review the ''Summary'' screen and, assuming the summary matches expectations, click ''Create'' to generate the template. The template creation process may take some time to complete depending on the size of the virtual hard disk. If the template is based on an existing virtual machine, the process involves the running of sysprep on the guest operating system image which may take a considerable amount of time.
